Paul Ryan will not educate our students
On April 15, Notre Dame announced former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan will serve as a faculty member during the 2019-2020 academic year, namely as guest lecturer in economics and political science. Noted topics include “the fundamentals of American government, the current state of political polarization and Catholicism and economics.”
The mysteries of the sea
Pressing my hands against the Plexiglass, bathed in the dark blue hue of the water’s reflection, I watched as a massive shark moved ominously inches from my face, disturbing the spongy corals beneath him.
The importance of hospitality
According to Merriam Webster, the definition of hospitality is “hospitable treatment, reception or disposition.” That doesn’t really explain anything, so I turned to the definition of hospitable which is “given to generous and cordial reception of guests” and “offering a pleasant or sustaining environment.” Before my year studying in Innsbruck, I knew what the terms meant in a theoretical sense. However, my former German host family has shown me what those two terms mean in reality.
